Everyone in West Palm Beach knows the Delaney family because of their long-running tennis academy. But when Joy and Stan retire -- and when a wounded, young woman arrives on their doorstep -- the entire family's world is turned upside-down. And when Joy, the Delaney matriarch, suddenly goes missing, her four children are left to piece together everything they thought they knew about their parents.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

There's the seed of a strong series in Apples Never Fall thanks to its outstanding cast and intriguing hook, but those promising elements can't quite polish up a rote story.

2/5
The problem with this flatlining thriller is there is absolutely no one to root for. Everyone turns out to have boilerplate relationship problems and monotonous daddy issues... Go to Full Review Nick Hilton Independent (UK) 09/23/2024
3/5
A show that lacks the crunch of a Pink Lady, but still has the mellow tones and summer flavourings of a Golden Delicious. Go to Full Review Rachel Cooke New Statesman 09/23/2024
Apples Never Fall isn’t a comedy (no laughs), nor is it a mystery (no suspense). It’s a soapy fandango that commits the great crime of making Sam Neill look like a bad actor and Alison Brie, of Mad Men, like a so-so one. Go to Full Review Jen Shieff New Zealand Herald 01/07/2025
3.5/5
What sets the Moriarty/Marnich story apart is the way it takes what could have been a mediocre family drama to the next level, each episode switching often between "now" and "then", a clever way to use backstory to create sensational twists.

Of course the place is hoaching with secrets and lies, but working out what’s what is part of the fun, even if you have trouble swallowing the initial set-up. Go to Full Review Robert W. Butler Butler's Cinema Scene 06/07/2024
Apples Never Fall dishes a ton of armchair psychology, a mess of subplots that do little more than pad the proceedings, and a jumbled time frame that makes it hard to figure out exactly where we are in the 7-episode story. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

R T @RT58214380 Jun 1 Absolute drivel! Managed one episode. Plastic acting and soooo slow! Even if the apple did fall, it would take at least a week before it hit the ground. See more Kaitlyn F @RT73047516 Apr 14 Ok show, but absolutely horrible in the sense that it hardly follows the book. Even the smallest details like type of dessert was changed… for what reason 😂. The children’s relationships were also not accurate. Brooke having relations with Savannah makes zero sense whatsoever, especially when Stan and Savannah’s relations were a possible contributing factor in the book. See more Manish T @Manish3006 Jan 25 Intriguing. Binge worthy. The reveal could have been presented better. Too much time taken for character building. The duration could have been a bit shorter. Worth watching by skipping some parts. See more Kendra C @Kenwithcoraline Jan 20 Incredible show. The mom is so loveable and there are great twists and turns. The ending wasn’t my favorite, but gosh, this was one of my top 2 shows of 2025. See more Cassandra G @Cassandra213 Jan 14 Thought this be another good series. Absolute trash. Horrible acting, horrible story lines and the worst ending ever. Wouldn't recommend this to anyone, save your time See more Danny M @RT77654732 Dec 26 Very lame story line. Unforgettable characters. Couldn't care less whether they found their mum or not. Didn't even fast forward to the final episode. Let me know how it ends ...... ZZZZZZZZZ ! See more Read all reviews
